1 Common Core Georgia Performance Standards Grades English Language Arts Susan Jacobs ELA Program Specialist 1

2 Welcome Common Core The Standards were derived from a set of anchor standards called the College and Career Readiness Standards, which represent what students should know and be able to do upon graduation. 2

3 How the CCRs Inform the Common Core: CCR READING STANDARD 1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. ELACC11-12RL1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain. Foundational Resources 3

4 Mirrors GPS in its Main Divisions An Integrated Model of Literacy Processes of communication are closely connected; reading and writing tasks are integrated Research and media skills are blended into the standards as a whole Students will gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas to conduct original research in order to answer questions or to solve problems 4

5 Literacy Standards Grade Bands 6-8, 9-10, Literacy Standards for Reading: History and Social Studies Literacy Standards for Reading: Science and Technical Subjects Literacy Standards for Writing: History, Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects ***Literacy Standards are embedded in the K-5 ELA Standards of CCGPS Addressing Changes Between GPS and CCGPS 5

6 A New Paradigm Don t just take your old state standards out of their boxes and swap in the Common Core Standards. [The Common Core state standards] are meant as a platform for a new instructional system, not a new list of topics for the old instructional system. [ ] When we turn standards into long lists and we tell teachers to cover instead of to teach, when we give them pacing plans and tell them to cover everything on the test, we are covering and not learning. - Phil Daro, Strategic Education Research Partnership, Washington, D.C.

7 ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation. The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of the structures and elements of American fiction and provides evidence from the text to support understanding; the student: a. Locates and analyzes such elements in fiction as language and style, character development, point of view, irony, and structures (i.e., chronological, in medias res, flashback, frame narrative, epistolary narrative) in works of American fiction from different time periods. b. Identifies and analyzes patterns of imagery or symbolism. c. Relates identified elements in fiction to theme or underlying meaning. d. Analyzes, evaluates, and applies knowledge of the ways authors use techniques and elements in fiction for rhetorical and aesthetic purposes. e. Analyzes the influence of mythic, traditional, or classical literature on American literature. f. Traces the history of the development of American fiction. The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of the purpose, structure, and elements of nonfiction and/or informational materials and provides evidence from the text to support understanding; the student: a. Analyzes and explains the structures and elements of nonfiction works of American literature such as letters, journals and diaries, speeches, and essays. b. Analyzes and evaluates the logic and use of evidence in an author s argument. c. Analyzes, evaluates, and applies knowledge of the ways authors use language, style, syntax, and rhetorical strategies for specific purposes in nonfiction works. The student identifies and analyzes elements of poetry from various periods of American literature and provides evidence from the text to support understanding; the student: a. Identifies, responds to, and analyzes the effects of diction, tone, mood, syntax, sound, form, figurative language, and structure of poems as these elements relate to meaning. i. sound: alliteration, end rhyme, slant rhyme, internal rhyme, consonance, assonance ii. form: fixed and free, lyric, ballad, sonnet, narrative poem, blank verse iii. figurative language: personification, imagery, metaphor, conceit, simile, metonymy, synecdoche, hyperbole, symbolism, allusion b. Analyzes and evaluates the effects of diction and imagery (i.e., controlling images, figurative language, extended metaphor, understatement, hyperbole, irony, paradox, and tone) as they relate to underlying meaning. c. Traces the historical development of poetic styles and forms in American literature. The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of the themes, structures, and elements of dramatic American literature and provides evidence from the text to support understanding; the student: a. Identifies and analyzes types of dramatic literature (i.e., political drama, modern drama, theatre of the absurd). b. Analyzes the characters, structures, and themes of dramatic literature. c. Identifies and analyzes dramatic elements, (i.e., stage directions, fourth wall, expressionism, minimalism, dramatic irony). d. Identifies and analyzes how dramatic elements support and enhance the interpretation of dramatic literature. ELAALRL2 The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding. The student a. Applies knowledge of the concept that the theme or meaning of a selection represents a universal view or comment on life or society and provides support from the text for the identified theme. b. Evaluates the way an author s choice of words advances the theme or purpose of the work. c. Applies knowledge of the concept that a text can contain more than one theme. d. Analyzes and compares texts that express universal themes characteristic of American literature across time and genre (i.e., American individualism, the American dream, cultural diversity, and tolerance) and provides support from the texts for the identified themes. ELAALRL3 The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods. The student relates a literary work to primary source documents of its literary period or historical setting; the student: a. Relates a literary work to the seminal ideas of the time in which it is set or the time of its composition. Native American literature Colonial/Revolutionary/National literature b. Relates a literary work to the characteristics of the literary time period that it represents. i.romanticism/transcendentalism ii. Realism iii. Naturalism iv. Modernism (including Harlem Renaissance) v. Postmodernism The student compares and contrasts specific characteristics of different genres as they develop and change over time for different purposes (i.e., personal, meditative Colonial writing vs. public, political documents of the Revolutionary era, or replication of traditional European styles [Bradstreet, Taylor] vs. emerging distinctive American style [Dickinson, Whitman] in poetry). The student analyzes a variety of works representative of different genres within specific time periods in order to identify types of discourse (i.e., satire, parody, allegory) that cross the lines of genre classifications.

13 How will daily instruction change? We will all still be teachers of reading and writing There is an expectation of great complexity in texts Informational texts must represent 50% of reading Tasks will be more integrated and will never be taught in isolation (while you will have focus standards, you will not teach a single standard or genre in isolation) All standards will be mastered through recursive attention throughout the four instructional units New Lexile Expectations 13
